By Train and/or Bus

The City of Mainz has one main and multiple other train stations. Schedule information is provided by Deutsche Bahn. The easiest way to come to Mainz University is to take one of the following bus lines from Mainz Main Station ("Hauptbahnhof"):

For your ride from Mainz Main Station to the "Universität" bus stop (plus one bus stop), you should buy a so-called "Kurzstrecken-Ticket" which is valid within three bus stops. This "short-distance ticket" is cheaper than a normal bus ticket. You can buy it directly from the bus driver or use an automatic ticket machine. Information on public transport within and around Mainz is provided by Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund.
